Starting a new thread to track filers from the above month who are YET to receive an N400 interview appointment. From various discussion threads , it appears that individuals who applied during these 3 months are the largest affected group - largely forgotten.
Let's try to get together and see what happens over the next few weeks , identify recourse and report on any updates/changes to their respective case , that might be helpful to all.

In my case.
Applied on May 26, 2020
Field Office: Newark , NJ
Biometrics notification: Dec 30,2020
Biometrics done: Jan 26,2021
Since January , I have attempted to call USCIS every alternate month with no real outcome. Occasionally a kind agent would put an enquiry on my behalf which would swiftly be responded by the Newark Field office as 'being within processing times' . Otherwise the standard agent reply has been essentially 'continue to wait'.
